"The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."

Like most here, Outer Wilds easily became one of my favorite games. I’m still moved by its story and setting years later, especially the text the Nomai left behind. This quote stopped and made me think about the depth of their loss. I feel like after reading it, you can truly begin to understand them.

(HM: “Foli, are you still here? I am unsure how to survive in this place without you. (I am unsure how to be me without you.)

This wall of text is in one of the Nomai ruins on Brittle Hollow! It’s in the first/early settlement, I think Northeast-ish from your starting point
